VOLUNTEERING FOR ROUND ROCK ARTS
Thanks for considering volunteering for Round Rock Arts. There are various ways to be engaged. The primary choices are serving as a docent at The Downtowner Gallery, assisting at events, serving on our board, and serving on committees. Each element is listed below.
Docent at the Downtowner Gallery
Do you have a friendly smile and wish to welcome visitors in the gallery? Would you like to learn more about the visual art community in Round Rock? If so, we welcome you!
In addition to welcoming visitors, you can paint or draw while on shift if you are an artist, use a skill you have to help a committee or the two paid RRA staff members, or assist in a workshop if it is needed.
The gallery is open Wednesday-Saturday 12-6 with additional hours on Friday and Saturday night at 6-8. Shifts are two hours long.
Volunteers are trained at the start of their shift. One of the staff members or a board member will train you. If the spot you’d like is filled, if you are available 4-6 daily and 6-8 on Friday and Saturday, these are our primary needs.
